As an EasyJet flight was arriving at London Luton airport on Sunday evening, the pilot received a shout out from star-studded supermodel and airline passenger Kate Moss, but it was not a fan-friendly shout out. Moss, after drinking a little too much Vodka, told the pilot that she was a “basic b****” as she was being kicked off the plane after being drunk and disorderly.

According to passengers on board, the 41-year-old supermodel was drinking a bottle vodka that was in one of her bags after being told by flights attendants that she could not have anymore alcohol. This is a bit ironic, considering she was returning from a detox retreat in Bodrum, Turkey, with one of her friends.

Some passengers stated Moss was acting out of the ordinary, but was not combative towards anyone, and it was apparently amusing to many. “The EasyJet crew was acting of proportion,” said one passenger, in regards to the threat level Moss posed, or lack thereof.

Airport security was notified by the pilot that they needed to send security officers to escort her off of the plane. The supermodel complied with the officers, but not before calling the pilot a “basic b****” as she walked out of the plane. Local authorities confirmed they responded to the call of a disruptive passenger, but no one was taken into custody.

Moss was said to have flown out of London for a few days to visit her good friend Sadie Frost, just a few weeks before her 50th birthday at the end of June. Frost took to Twitter to announce to her followers that she had arrived at home from a “healing week” in Turkey.

Last July, the British beauty was seen all over Twitter as a result from a similar flying-while-intoxicated incident. Passengers on the plane sitting near the supermodel and those who saw her walking through the airport claimed that she looked intoxicated. One Twitter user said, “Just got off my flight with a very drunk Kate Moss.”

An unknown source claimed Moss was actually speaking to a member of the staff who thought she did not have a boarding pass when she arrived. Though, she was allowed to board a short time later.

“It was pretty obvious that Kate had had a bit to drink as she was talking loudly and didn’t seem worried about being seen,” said one passenger. That particular flight took off over two hours late for unknown reasons, but some suspected Moss was the cause.

Even though Moss has now been a suspect in a series of tipsy moments in mass transportation, she seems to always keep it mostly together. However, this is the first time the model as been asked to leave a plane. The authorities stated Moss was not charged with anything, so she must have been orderly enough to continue her travels. There has yet to be information released regarding the potential “basicness” of the pilot.
